To the best of my knowledge I am the only person attempting to rebuild America (or the world) by increasing memberships in already present volunteer groups and empowering them. There are many dealing with volunteering, but my ideas don’t align with theirs very often and I really seek out data sources and science to back up my suggestions. MOst others worry about volunteer management or inspiring the volunteers in other ways. So we are complimentary in nature and not in any competition even if you only look at the volunteering aspect of the issue. They could easily look at my blog and pick up ideas for nontraditional volunteer groups and I am fine if they do. The idea is to help the world, not limit the knowledge for the help!!
